I'm working on my Blogger Blog. Long way to go,considering that if you want to achieve a decent look, it's all about code. So far been doing it by myself using all the tutorials i can find. My blog is about love letters,but i find inspiration of design from the blogs that i read/use on a daily bases.

I got two questions/issues

1. I need a Recent Post Auto-repeat Slideshow on the main page,that will show up to 4-6 posts at the same time.
Example:
Desene Animate Dublate si Subtitrate in Romana 2014-2015
I found related help here: Recent Rotating Post Gadget with Excerpt For Blogger | Helplogger However is kinda far from what i need.Very far.

2. I want to arrange images in a post by clicking on a tab (link i guess you can call it)
Example: Macbeth (2015) Online Subtitrat
You can click on server 1,2,3 go to another tab ,but you are still in the same post.
I will ad images instead of video links,but you get the idea.

Can you relate me to code such as the one that i need ,from a website (that teaches step by step how to do this) ?
Or show me here the code that i need to make this happen ?

    Hi Ember Daniels,

    Not to sound rude, but you sound like a novice WordPress user. We all started here, where we tried to sound like we knew what we were talking about, and just get plugins to get a site to do 'kinda' what you want it to (I was guilty of this too).

    My recommendation, is to actually learn about WordPress & Web Development. Codecanyon is a decent free website with web design tutorials, or if you're willing pay a little bit, I would recommend Lynda.com. Otherwise, you're better off paying someone to build the plugins for you, and save yourself hours and hours of research and heartache, that will most likely yield less and desirable results (maybe try fiverr, or guru to find freelancers).

    What i'm trying to say is, the functionality you require is very basic to achieve. To try and point you in the direction of a tutorial would be pointless, as I'm sure there won't be a tutorial that shows you how to build what you want, how you want it - and without having programming knowledge, it would be of no benefit to you.

    Again, I apologize if this was too straight forward, but from the sound of this thread, you need a handout/too much help.

    Best,
    Will

      Thx for the reply.
      I applied a nav bar to my blog. Problem is not working right. I am 99,9% it;s the HTML code.

      The nav bar is composed out of CSS and html body.
      I tested the css on a different website also made by me and it works great. Also you can go here https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate_by_uri and validate it. It works.

      My problem is with the html. You can go here and validate it. Free Online HTML Validator - FreeFormatter.com Thing is what that shows me ,makes no sense. Cuz doing what they tell you, just makes things worse.

      Maybe,you can take a look. It's this very simple code...simple if you know what your doing.

      /* The CSS Code for the menu */
      #btrix-nav {margin: 100px auto;list-style: none;width: 632px;height: 87px;overflow-y: hidden;}


      #btrix-nav li {float: left;}


      #btrix-nav li a {display: block;color: white;width: 120px;height: 61px;margin-top: 24px;text-decoration: none;text-align: center;border-top: 1px solid #bbb;border-bottom: 1px solid #555;}


      #btrix-nav li a span.aname {font: bold 17px/61px "Arial";color: #fff;text-transform: uppercase;cursor: pointer;position: relative;top: 0;transition: top .5s ease;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);}


      #btrix-nav li a img {position: relative;top: 0;transition: top .5s ease;}


      #btrix-nav li a:hover {cursor: pointer;}


      #btrix-nav li a:hover img {top: -85px;}


      #btrix-nav li a:hover .aname {top: 85px;}


      #btrix-nav li:nth-child(1) a {background: #3eb006;border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;border-left: 1px solid #bbb;}


      #btrix-nav li:nth-child(2) a {background: #9bc704;}


      #btrix-nav li:nth-child(3) a {background: #0dc3ff;}


      #btrix-nav li:nth-child(4) a {background: #51a2ec;}


      #btrix-nav li:nth-child(5) a {background: #6e3cab;border-radius: 0 5px 5px 0;border-right: 1px solid #555;}
      ------------------------------
      And this is the HTML

      <div id="btrix-nav">


      <li>
      <a href="#"><span class="aname">Homes</span>

    Hi Ember,

    There is nothing wrong with the code you provided, and it works exactly as it should - I took the liberty of creating a static web page with it, in order to test it (looks good too, btw).

    You most likely are having some kind of conflict when trying to integrate it into your current site. If you can send me a link to the website that your having issues on, I'll give it a quick look for you.

    Best,
    Will

      I started a new Blog just for this. So you won't have to work to figure it out so hard,considering that i have like 5 more blogs that i work (test) on constantly. Different,templates, different widgets , different eveything, trying to find the right combination. Some thing work,some don't. I have a perfect finished template idea in mind, but because it's hard to put it in code...i often have to compromise.

      Just giving up on a entire simple thing as a "menu bar" can mess up the whole website design.

      Test Template As you can see their only 4 instead of 5 tabs.Contact tab missing.

      Here is the template file of the website. http://1drv.ms/1TqV4AG You can scan it .No virus,i uploaded it from my onedrive account. Wanted to use the file attachments here,but it tells me that the xml is invalid file and doesn't wanna upload it
      So you are looking at a clean template just with the menu bar installed.
